Hello world!

I'm an indie #gamedev working at my own studio Pretty Fly Games. I also make tutorial videos how to make games on www.youtube.com/@PrettyFlyGa...

Happy to see some real #gamedev conversations going on here so looking forward to be apart of the community.

The gamedev gods know I'm not the best user of game analytics. But this time I actually did use it and I found out that only 27.3% clicked the reward button after completing a task. So I added a flashing icon and a tweened button and VOILA it went up to 87.5%.

Yesterday I found my game on some of the #SteamNextFest lists and I got a panic attack when I realized that my capsule art was just too boring. So I did what any INSANE person would do and quickly re-did the art for my Steam page (new bottom). Hopefully it was the right call!

📈 Demand and supply added to #FredsIdleGarden. If you don't have what customers want in your store then demand increases. It also decreases when they are able to buy what they desire.

How can you tell it is Monday? Yet a new bug in my game of course! This time I managed to screw up the load save game code but it was only my own version so no harm, yet 😅 #mondayBug #bug #gamedev

Grass is now growing freely in #FredsIdleGarden. Here is how it starts on the left and what it can turn out to on the right. Planing on adding a lawn mower to be able to get rid of it.

Been making slow but steady progress in #FredsIdleGarden. Initially the garden will get some garbage and that will work as the tutorial which explains how to move and throw stuff away.

Gotto keep those customers happy, or else they might drop a bad review 😏 . Stocking up all sorts of veggies matters now.

Despite increased scope I'm making faster progress than expected 💪 Shop is busy and filling/selling from crates works ✅ Customers are a bit greedy so they actually never leave 🙈

Massive SCOPE creep ✅ I've decided to take my game into the next level. While you take care of your garden you'll also need to take care of your customers who buys your crops.

Came up with a pretty good idea how to ask people to wishlist my game. Added a clickable sign in game which will be there on the demo version. Not too intrusive I hope.
